# Connect with Termux

First, install Termux from [F-droid](/Fdroid/Install).

**NOTE**: Although Termux is also available on [Google Play](/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux&hl=en&gl=US), it is outdated. Google Play is not free software nor does it respect user data.

Open Termux:

Type the command below, but do not type the dollar sign $:

    $ pkg install openssh
    ...
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y


If you used Google Play instead of [F-droid](/Fdroid/Install), termux may not be able to find openssh immediately. If so, you must type:

    $ pkg upgrade
    $ pkg install openssh


This will update the package repos, then install openssh.

After installation finishes, type (do not type the dollar sign $):

    $ ssh username@example.com


Replace `username` and `example.com` with your username and server domain.

The first time you connect, termux will show a warning followed by SSH fingerprints. To be safe, you should double check that the fingerprints match with [[Ircnow.SSHFingerprints/known SSH fingerprints]].

**WARNING**: If the fingerprints do not match, do **not** connect# Instead, report the error to your sysadmin. There may be a misconfiguration, or in rarer cases, a [MITM attack](/MITM/intro).
